Based on county and municipal clerk responses to the 2013 Election Administration and SVRS Training Survey posted several months ago, Board staff has developed an SVRS training schedule in preparation for the spring 2014 elections. Clerks new to SVRS are required to take the 2-day beginning Application, Election Management and HAVA Interfaces training class to be fully certified to work in the system. Absentee Process training is optional and consists of a full day of training with a hands-on workshop in the afternoon.

Priority seating will be given to clerks new to SVRS and the number of students able to register per municipality or county may be limited as necessary. All registrants will be initially placed on a waiting list. A separate email will confirm your attendance for the class. You must register separately for the beginning Application and Absentee training classes. For class details and to register online visit the SVRS Application Training page.
